and all around campus ahead of the game to try to stop people from climbing the poles.

"sumo." i spoke to my lawyers and they said i can't afford to "sue mo' people" "udon." i tried to kiss melania but she said "ew, don."

[ laughter ] what's it like directing your wife in a film? >> it's unbelievable. i could make a joke, but the truth is, we were so nervous the night before because we really wanted to do this. but you're nervous, you both have your own process and you're not sure if it's going to link up. you know, she's -- i think everybody thinks because we're actors we have the same experiences. it's actually completely opposite experiences because she's off in another country shooting something totally different with different people. so what i learned was i've learned actually was i've always been the biggest fan of hers, but not until you're in the room when she does what she does. do you know why she's so phenomenal. she's the most unbelievably talented person. powerful person. kindest person she makes everyone around her better. so, honestly, that was my experience, the best experience ever. i'm retiring is the whole point.

[ laughter ] where they like -- >> jimmy: oh, of course. >> where they like -- where it's like the cameras and -- i was so green, i had never been on camera before, so i, you know, i would finish the scene and they'd say, "okay, that was great." and then i'd walked and they're like, "no, no, no, come back. come back. you have to stay there." and i'm like, "for what?" they're like, "for the final moment." i'm like, "to do what?"
